Mine says 460 on the fender and on the valve covers,never a problem there,other than the FE crowd.Of course that never bothers me anyway,when building the car it only made sense to build the better engine,sure glad I did.Tsk Tsk.
Bottom line is,I spent 2 yrs building this car from the ground up,have no regrets and very proud to drive around and show it off.
The way I look at the FE vs 460 issue is like this. If both the FE and the 385 series engines had been available at that time, which one would have ended up in the car? I'm betting it would have been the 385 series, due to the greater power potental of the engine.

Just think, it may have been the 429 SC Cobra.
